Abject Despair






Small eyelids
cradle tears;
bent stomachs
fill with broad
lunges for
the idea of hope.

Whispered condolences
press perseverance
into our children
yet understand
the frozen tundra
of a warring world.

 "It snowed and snowed, the whole world over,
Snow swept the world from end to end.
A candle burned on the table;
A candle burned."      -  Boris Pasternak, Dr. Zhivago
